From Print Manager's and the application's point of view, the Epson
driver is identical to the ImageWriter driver.  The normal vertical
resolution for all three printers is 36 pixels/inch.  Setting the
vertical sizing to Intermediate will give you 54 pixels/inch.  Setting
the vertical sizing to Condensed will give you 72 pixels/inch.

The horizontal resolution for the ImageWriter/Epson driver is 40
pixels/inch (80 pixels/inch in 640 mode), while the resolution of the
LaserWriter driver is 42 pixels/inch (84 pixels/inch in 640 mode).
